Paper Mario

So for my birthday I bought myself the original Paper Mario, and ohhhhhh my god. It is amazing! From battling a heart, to a Bootler, to many characters of the T family. It is so much better then sticker star, I can see what you guys were talking about.

First two are great, though I'm in the minority opinion that the original's better (TTYD had too much backtracking and some elements in the ending that felt like a cop-out), so technically it's been a downhill slope for the series for me. Color Splash does look more interesting than Sticker Star, though.

I only have experience with the N64 original and Super. My brother borrowed TTYD multiple times but never, ever finished it. I never got too far myself, but I have watched a few let's plays through to the end.

I don't think there is enough different with TTYD that justifies it being "clearly superior" to the original N64 game, and therefore the best. I think it did make cool changes, but I'm of the opinion that TTYD is yet another victim of "Youtuber Hyperbole" making it out to be the pinnacle of gaming itself. A lot of what makes TTYD great was also seen in the original, it just took different forms.

It's the same problem I have with Mega Man X. Everyone just assumes Mega Man X is the greatest Mega Man game ever made because Egoraptor made a video singing its praises, and his opinion just permeated throughout the internet consciousness. It did have actual problems that can make it less enjoyable, even though it is a good game.

*Insert hate for Color Splash because it's not TTYD2*I really don't get these hate bandwagons for games that aren't even out.Color Splash could be good in its own right.(Yes I know this is for PM64 but whatev)
